My fern dried out - how to nurse it back to life?

My housemate forgot to water the the poor thing for 2 weeks. It is in shade. I give it planty of water now, but the leaves are still dry and looking sad. Any good ideas how to save it?



thanks

My fern dried out - how to nurse it back to life?
Just keep it well watered, hopefully it will come back. Sometimes they will, it is possible it's just dormant and will come back. Make sure that it's just moist not soaking wet and let it go as it is. It can take a long time for a fern to come back, you've lost the leaves so you might want to clip them off. It will grow from the base if it grows at all, sending up new fronds to replace the crispy ones.



Good luck
